“Fried” Ice Cream
#BlueBunnyWinBig #FinalConeDown
When I think of summer I think of sunshine, being outside, and the fair. I think we hit a minimum of 4 county fairs each summer plus the Iowa State Fair. When I think about the fair I think about everything being fried. If it can go on a stick they fry it. One of my favorite fried foods is fried ice cream. Our local Mexican restaurant serves it.
Fried ice cream is a dessert made from a breaded scoop of ice cream that is quickly deep-fried creating a warm, crispy shell around the still-cold ice cream. Now I decided frying my ice cream at home probably wouldn’t be one of my best ideas. That’s why this is “fried” ice cream.
Here’s my favorite part, it takes a total of two ingredients! That’s it. You start with pretzels and crush them. This is lots of fun for getting little ones involved. You can put them in a baggie and roll a rolling pin over them. I just toss them in my food processor and pulse them to smaller chunks. then you roll a ball of ice cream in the pretzels.
You can serve as is or drizzle toppings over it. I love caramel with the sweet and salty. It’s super easy and such a fun and delicious dessert. It’s perfect for a summer day or any day really.

What’s your favorite part of summer?
What a cute idea!!! I’ve not tried fried ice cream at the country fairs, and I’d be leery of trying the full-fledged version at home, this is a good way to have the concept without losing your nerves!
This looks so good! Can’t wait to try it!
This looks amazing and my kids will love helping me create it!
I was always wondering how the Mexican restaurants cooked the fried ice cream. Your recipe lets me know exactly how to get it right. I appreciate the review.
I’ve got to try this! I love Mexican Ice Cream and haven’t had it in years!

My favorite part of summer is the fun with family and friends; the picnics, barbecues, camping, and road trips. Everyone seems more relaxed in the summertime.
I have never tried fried ice cream and wondered how it was done. This sounds delicious. Not a daily treat, but a must try. Thanks!

Yum Plain Vanilla with Caramel. That is my favorite combo!
This looks great, Donna. And I love how easy it is to make! I honestly think there is no such season that doesn’t pair well with ice cream. 😉 Hard to believe we are headed for cooler weather already.
I HAVE NEVER HAD FRIED ICECREAM BUT IT SOUNDS TASTY. GOING TO TRY TO MAKE ITS ONE OF THESE DAYS.
I’m a sucker for sweet and salty.
Great idea. Sweet and salty wins out with me every time and it seems like a much better idea than “frying”. 🙂
